Este artículo plantea que los procesos de rehabilitación urbana en contextos escandinavos consisten tanto en desarrollos regidos por planes como en desarrollos gobernados por mercados. Tomando como ejemplo la regeneración de muelles urbanos, se argumenta que dichos procesos de planificación son el resultado de la interacción de diversos factores, entre los que destacan políticas urbanas locales, acuerdos institucionales, aspectos relacionados con la propiedad de la tierra, así como ciertas condiciones del mercado. El artículo concluye que los procesos de regeneración urbana en el contexto específico de la transformación de muelles tienden a evolucionar en función de un enfoque que aquí se denomina ‘sitio por sitio’, que muestra cómo diversos estilos de planificación urbana determinan la configuración de los procesos individuales de transformación.

“…Göteborg shares several development patterns with large and medium-sized European cities including urban renewal, gentrification, and place marketing. Perhaps the most profound result of the structural change in Göteborg has been the rise of the waterfront Norrä Alvstranden [36,43] containing both residences and hightech work places, reflecting how global economic events can have sustaining effects on a local level [44]. However, despite sharing several global development patterns, there are a number of specific conditions concerning local and regional planning that need to be addressed before we can commence with the analysis.…”

Recent research has elucidated the role of talents to explain urban growth differences but it remains to be shown whether urban dynamics, such as human capital and a mixed local population, can be linked to intraurban employment growth. By use of a unique longitudinal database, we track the economic development through the lens of intraurban employment growth of a number of primary urban areas (PUA) in Göteborg, Sweden. Regarding factors influencing employment growth, we find that relative concentrations of human capital protect areas from rising unemployment during severe recession (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993) and recovery (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000) while the composition of skills is beneficial during recovery (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000) and long-term growth (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008). Our findings suggest that neither too high concentrations of creative occupations nor too low ones are beneficial. Thus, human capital drives much of the employment changes in relation to the recession and early transition from manufacturing to service but composition of skills is more relevant for explaining long-term intraurban employment growth. BackgroundThe gradual shift from manufacturing to a postindustrial knowledge-based economy has resulted in a number of events that have changed future prerequisites for economic development. These events include a deepened spatial division of labour at both regional [1] and urban [2] levels, urban decline and revitalization [3], and a growing service industry [4,5]. In relation to this, increasing attention has been directed towards how the changing geography of talent shapes the preconditions for regional and urban development. In particular, focus has been on the role of high concentrations of human capital and creativity when it comes to explaining postindustrial location tendencies and why certain localities prosper while others do not [6][7][8]. However, recent contributions have shown that it is not the pure agglomeration of certain industries and skills that primarily drive development but rather the composition of knowledge at both the level of the region [9][10][11][12] and within the firm [13]. Framing the issue of the geography of talents is its impact on the economic structure of the city region as a whole. In agreement with Törnqvist [14], Hutton [15] and Hansen, and Winther [2], we argue that studying the city region from a holistic perspective is not fruitful if one wishes to put the spatial division of talents in the context of contemporary urban development, especially if one wishes to understand current urban economic activity. Thus, instead of conceptualising the city as a homogenous fabric of inputs and outputs in order to compare its economic activities with other cities, most notably illustrated in the phrase of "cauldrons of creativity" [8], Hansen and Winther [2] argue that the growing complexity of l...

“…The message for local governments and port authorities elsewhere would be to work in partnership with the private sector, to facilitate and help finance post-industrial private development on the waterfront. Its message was unashamedly neoliberal, and it could be argued that if the Baltimore model had not existed it would probably have been necessary to invent it, or more accurately to find another place that embodied these same values (Hoyle, 2000;S. Ward, 2008 Browns football stadium (see Figure 3).…”

This paper uses the ongoing attempts to redevelop the Cleveland waterfront to reveal the relational comparative geographies that are present in a number of contemporary urban revalorization strategies. It draws on archival papers, semistructured interviews, and the local grey literature to make three contributions to the existing urban-global studies literature. First, the paper argues that many contemporary waterfront and other similar redevelopment schemes are inherently comparative, with a significant amount of seemingly territorial politics and urban policy making characterized by actors' engagements with places elsewhere. Second, it shows that the framing of urban policy through relational comparisons is an established practice in many cities and that current redevelopment plans should be understood as informed by previous rounds of relational and territorial policy making. Third, it points to the importance of consultants in the current era -as examples of actors of transference -in shaping not only redevelopment plans but also the framing of the city in relation to other cities. ---No one public improvement is more important to the City of Cleveland than the development of her lake front in accordance with the best possible plan (Hopkins, 1927, p. 21) What we do with our great assets … will reshape Cleveland for decades to come (Jackson, 2010, quoted in Breckenridge, 2010 2 IUFThe regeneration of urban waterfronts is one of the key urban design and planning stories of the late twentieth century (Dovey, 2005, p. 9)
